I think if a cop tells you to stop and you instead try to run him over he has the right to shoot you. I don't know if so many rounds were needed but if you haven't figured out in your teenage years to stop when told to by a police man then you will suffer. I am sad he was to get married and leaves a sweetheart and two children but he should have stopped and found out why he was being stopped.

Don't be sad- these kids are better off without a 'dad' like this and the mother will probably lose them soon enough- if she is hanging out with creeps like that.

The day after the incident happened, I heard Mayor Bloomberg on the radio news say that a cop is not allowed to shoot at a car that is trying to hit him, unless someone in the car is shooting.

I couldn't believe what I was hearing, so I asked my son, who is an NYPD Police Captain.

He said, that's right. The idea is that the cop can get out of the way. That is just ridiculous.

That's pretty much it, in a nutshell.
